Commentary.

The 16 by 16 signed permutation has the fourteen positive entries and two negative entries listed in Appendix F (main.tex l. 4933–4937). Its row and column indices are the four-bit window words.

Commentary.

The common block weight is the positive real number square root of three divided by four (main.tex l. 4870).

Commentary.

RenormS conjugates by the signed permutation and the two-site basis change, pinches equal sector labels, and sums the four-dimensional multiplicity index, matching the source’s S channel (main.tex l. 3149–3164). Nat.div denotes natural-number floor division and Nat.mod the remainder; Fin.divNat a b p and Fin.modNat a b p have values p.val / b and p.val % b, respectively.

Commentary.

RenormT conjugates by the signed permutation, inserts the normalized multiplicity identity with scalar nu divided by mu, and restores the source tensor order, matching the source’s T channel (main.tex l. 3132–3147). The source multiplicity trace satisfies m_lambda = mu_lambda, so the common weight mu is used directly. Nat.div denotes natural-number floor division and Nat.mod the remainder; Fin.divNat a b p and Fin.modNat a b p have values p.val / b and p.val % b, respectively.

The local channel applies the four-to-two channel S, then the two-to-four channel T, as in the source’s E = T composed with S (main.tex l. 4951–4952).

Commentary.

WindowCode reads four consecutive cyclic bits, with the first site as the most significant bit, and packs them into Fin 16. Nat.div denotes natural-number floor division and Nat.mod the remainder; Fin.divNat a b p and Fin.modNat a b p have values p.val / b and p.val % b, respectively.

Commentary.

WindowUpdate replaces the four cyclic window coordinates by the four binary digits of p, in most-significant-first order, and leaves all other coordinates unchanged. Nat.div denotes natural-number floor division and Nat.mod the remainder; Fin.divNat a b p and Fin.modNat a b p have values p.val / b and p.val % b, respectively.

Commentary.

Every sector gauge phase squares to one because its exponent is an integer and the sign square identity applies.

Theorem 1.26 (The successor site map is injective).

Commentary.

The cyclic successor map is injective for every nonempty Fin n. The proof uses the additive inverse in Fin n after establishing n is nonzero from an index.

Theorem 1.27 (The gauged window action).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Quantum/TensorNetworks/CZXParentLindbladianWindowChannel.gauged_window_sector (✓ std3). ∎

Commentary.

On a good window, the gauge converts the local channel into the uniform average over the two middle bits; on a bad window the action is zero. The phase change on the three affected edges cancels using the self-inverse gauge phase.

Theorem 1.28 (Gauged units span the matrix space).

Commentary.

Two complex-linear endomorphisms agreeing on every gauged unit agree everywhere. Each standard matrix unit is a self-product of a sector phase times one gauged unit, so the standard matrix basis extension applies.

Theorem 1.29 (Translated window channels commute).

Commentary.

The gauged-unit action identifies each good window channel with an average over its two middle coordinates. The coordinate averages commute, and the four cases of good or bad windows give equality for every matrix.

Commentary.

Applying LinearMap.toMatrix_mulVec_repr to windowLM in Matrix.stdBasis identifies the matrix-vector action of windowSuperoperator with windowChannel entrywise.

Commentary.

The local channel is idempotent on matrix units; the window channel therefore composes with itself to itself. The preceding action formula transfers this identity to the window superoperator.
